New blog post on my website 🚨 A quick weekend trip to Music City, USA inspired me to revisit my earliest memories of country music and how those musicians changed my life 💃🏻 www.sagejune.com/blogs/news/n... #blogpost #weekendintennessee #fullcirclemoment #womensupportingwomen

Full Circle Moments in Nashville

I was listening to Shania Twain and flying to Nashville, the perfect combo. As I listened to these songs I had sung a thousand times and it dawned on me how genius Shania truly was. I'm never going to...

Not what I planned for when I booked our Tennessee trip, but I will always remember this moment 💔 See alt image for my message to Dolly Parton 🥹 #nashville #walkoffame #countrymusichalloffame #whatwoulddollydo #offthecommune

Dolly's star on the Music City Walk of Fame covered in flowers, candles, notes and pictures of Dolly Parton. My hand written note sits at the bottom center reading:

Blue haron upon driftwood 🪵 #sageandjune #newportoregon #blueheron #agatebeach #amateurphotography

A grey coastal day. In shallow coastal water floats a piece of driftwood. Upon the drift wood sits a blue haron peering into the water for a meal, probably. The water is calm so the reflection is almost perfect, making it look like a mirror image.

There's something special about seeing your art in the place that inspired it. Hanging my blankets as tapestries is my all time favorite too 🥰 Heading to Newport TOMORROW!! to deliver 2 hanging tapestries and 3 individual blankets to Starfish Point, the hotel that inspired this entire collection 🌅

Sage & June@sageandjune.bsky.social · last mo.

And that's a wrap for the Agate Beach tapestry photo shoot 🎬 Agate Beach tapestry now available online and soon available at Starfish Point in Newport, Oregon 🌊 www.sagejune.com/products/aga... #sageandjune #customtapestry #agatebeach #starfishpoint #newportoregon #smallbusiness

A photo shoot for the hanging woven tapestry in the center.
The tapestry is a drawing of the ocean and beach at sunset starting with the sunset at top dark blue fading to bring orange near the ocean. The sun is setting behind rocky cliffs jutting into the ocean middle right of the tapestry. The ocean is varying shades of dark to light blue as it gets closer to shore with white waves breaking at the beach line. In the distant ocean are two grey whales spouting. At the bottom of the tapestry is the beach varying from dark to light brown as the ocean recedes. There is a lone orange starfish in the wet sands on the lower right corner of the tapestry.

The tapestry can also be used as a blanket and is thrown on a chair to the left of the hanging tapestry. A dog bed with an orange starfish toy sits center and a shelf with various knick knacks is too the right. Against the right wall is a blanket hanger with 3 blankets hanging on it showing the starfish on the bottom right.

Around the tapestry on the wall are various pictures taken at Agate Beach. Top left is a photo of an eagle eating a fish on the beach. Bottom left is a grey and white dog running on the beach. Top right is a woman holding her dog in front of drift wood on the beach. Middle right is a photo taken at sunset on Agate Beach to match the tapestry. And finally a bronze starfish is hung at the bottom left of the tapestry.

I was obsessed with the online doll makers when I was a tween (anyone else??) and now I want to make an entire sticker collection of ✨tHeSe✨ Early 2000's internet really was a time to be alive... and amazingly some things from that era still exist 🤯 ♡ ~ Dollie Palace ~ ♡ dolliepalace.com

Screenshot of an online sticker maker where you upload an image and adjust it for a round sticker. The sticker is a light purple background with stars all over. A pixelated cartoon woman in a white tee and jean shorts stands with brown hair in the wind. Next to her says I'm pink pixelated letters "HOT GIRLS HATE AI" and below her white sandaled feet is the "sage & june" stamp

A large vibrant tapestry is hung among canvas pictures. The tapestry is an illustrated image of Agate Beach in Newport at sunset. There are various photos around the tapestry of people and dogs on the beach and a sunset of the same beach. There is a bronze starfish on the wall to the lower right to point out the small orange sunfish in the tapestry. There is a chair with the same tapestry as a blanket thrown on it next to a shelf with some decorations.
